Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/nouveau: Fix refcount leak in nouveau_connector_detect

A possible inconsistent refcount update has been identified in function
`nouveau_connector_detect`, which may cause a resource leak.

After calling `pm_runtime_get_*(dev->dev)`, the usage counter of `dev->dev`
gets increased. In case function `nvif_outp_edid_get` returns negative,
function `nouveau_connector_detect` returns without decreasing the usage
counter of `dev->dev`, causing a refcount inconsistency.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/450
Fixes: 0cd7e0718139 ("drm/nouveau/disp: add output method to fetch edid")
